Chapter 322: Rewards and Punishments
Xiao Mu nodded very weakly, "Yes, so what else can I do?" There seemed to be little other option than to pardon them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Then pardon it, besides, Hou Shilu and they have also made a lot of contributions this time, and you have even pardoned so many Wei Zhongxian and his party before, so you are not inferior to these border generals." Lin Yi finished reading Hou Shilu's recital and said, "And you can see that Hou Shilu's recital is written very clearly, he can't do anything about it." ”
"Is there no way to accept bribes? So what should I do if I have no choice but to be an emperor? Xiao Mu was obviously not satisfied with Hou Shilu's "no way" statement, and felt that this was a complete excuse.
"This is the so-called 'people in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves', right?" Lin Yi closed Hou Shilu's recital and put it back again, "Hou Shilu has no choice, so you have to accept bribes, and you have no choice, so you have to pardon them, this is not 'involuntarily', what is it?" ”
"Regarding this recital, the votes of the cabinet are the same as what you said, they are all to pardon Hou Shilu and them, the generals of the Xuanfu, could it be said that there is no way to come to Zongdao and these cabinet elders?" Xiao Mu continued to ask.
Lin Yi immediately gave an affirmative answer, "Yes, you as an emperor can't do anything, what can they do?" Think about it, if you come to Zongdao, or if any other cabinet elder advocates severely punishing Hou Shilu and others, it will undoubtedly offend a large number of generals, judging from the character of Zongdao and Yang Jingchen, they will definitely not be willing to offend so many people, and in the entire cabinet, I am afraid that only Li Biao may not be afraid of offending people and dare to do so. But even if it is Li Biao, he is not a three-year-old child, and he must consider other issues, after all, if so many people are punished at once, the defenders of Xuanfu will be fluctuating, if the Houjin or the Mongols are given an opportunity, then the consequences will be unimaginable, and at that time, the courtiers who now advocate severe punishment of Hou Shilu will become the target of public criticism, and they will not be able to dismiss the official and remove them, or even kill themselves to apologize. ”
"It seems that everyone has no choice, they can only make do, make do, and take which step to go......" Xiao Mu finally realized that it was impossible to punish Hou Shilu, "But even so, a symbolic punishment is always due, right?" Otherwise, all the guards in the future will also come to you with a sentence of 'no way', and he will also come with a sentence of 'no way', and at that time, I will really have no choice. ”
"That's natural, I think it's good to give Hou Shilu a punishment of 'lift it high and put it down gently', as for the candidate who is used to kill chickens and monkeys and set an example, isn't that Li Shoubei of Zhangjiakou just right? I think we can take this person as a negative example, punish it severely, and achieve the meaning ......of education and warning," Lin Yi said analyzing.
"Are you sure you really studied Chinese and not politics? Why is your statement exactly the same as the opinion of the cabinet's vote......" Xiao Mu just noticed that Lin Yi didn't see the cabinet's vote, but her answer was surprisingly similar to the cabinet's statement, so he couldn't help asking.
"This is all common sense, well, it's just that you're mentally retarded, and now you're a fan of the authorities, that's why you have so many concerns." Lin Yi rolled his eyes, "I think you still want to open some, don't always think about punishing Hou Shilu, this will definitely not do you any good." ”
"It seems that you are more talented in politics than me, this emperor is suitable for you to be a ......" Xiao Mu muttered in a low voice, and then said very unwillingly, "I have no way, the cabinet has no way, Hou Shilu and the guards of the Xuanfu have no way, so does that Li Shoubei of Zhangjiakou have a way?" Wouldn't it be too unfair if I let go of the others so easily and severely punished this Li Shoubei alone? ”
"Here it is again, I knew it would ......be like this," Lin Yi said with a look of "as I expected", "When you dealt with Gu Bingqian, these eunuch civil officials, and Xu Xianchun, a eunuch general, you were like this, and in the end, it took a lot of effort to finally save Xu Xianchun's life. Now you feel that it is unfair to that Li Shoubei, and you want to keep him alive? If you want me to say, where in this world are there so many absolutely fair things? Besides, that Li Shoubei did accept bribes from Wang Dengku, and it is justifiable to punish him severely, so why are you unwilling? ”
"Of course, Li Shoubei should be severely punished, but shouldn't Hou Shilu and other generals also be severely punished? Now everyone else is fine, only Li Shoubei is unlucky, what is the reason for this? It's just because of his low official position and the direct guard of Zhangjiakou, everyone is not afraid of offending him, so they can take advantage of the situation to let him bear all the responsibility. Xiao Mu shook his head and said, "We are lucky, we have crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, and directly become the biggest emperor and queen in this time and space, naturally we will not be treated like this, but if we are a little unlucky, we will become a commoner, or simply become a slave, maybe we are no longer in the world at this time, and we will have been taken to carry the black pot for others......"
"Okay, it's up to you, you're the emperor of this daimyo anyway." Lin Yi saw that Xiao Mu got into the tip of the bull's horns, and she was not incomprehensible to Xiao Mu's idea of pursuing fairness, so she no longer continued to be reluctant, but finally made a suggestion of her own, "But even if you want to open up to that Li Shoubei, I still suggest that you keep a low profile, and on the surface, it is better to punish them severely, otherwise, there will be no last chance to warn others, and in the future, it will be like what you said, the entire daimyo officials, generals, you have no way, and I have no way, When the time comes, you and I really won't be able to do anything......"
"I naturally understand this truth." Xiao Mu put on a look of "don't underestimate me" and continued, "I think let's do it like this, although Hou Shilu and others are not strict with the emperor and accept bribes, but when he thought that he had a meritorious service in breaking the enemy this time, and took the initiative to ask for guilt, he offset the merits and demerits, and was fined for one year, and he was still the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and the rest of the Xuanfu generals were fined for half a year. As for the Zhangjiakou garrison, it was a serious sin, and there was no way to forgive it, so it was taken into Beijing by the brocade clothes and guards, and the crime was severely punished. ”
